The United Kingdom is at the forefront of technology innovation, leading the way for other countries in terms of awareness, investments and adoption rate. Even though the latter is still low in other European countries, the rate of adoption is continuously growing across the continent. With increased funding from governments and the number of the aged population on the rise, remote patient monitoring is expected to witness a huge demand in the mainstream market as well.

Increasing hospital expenses and the surge to adopt information and communication technology in our daily lives is expected to drive the demand for the remote patient monitoring market, believes Mr. Kamalasekar. In order to improve healthcare quality outside of hospitals, governments have realized that the funding of research programs will help improve the demand for remote monitoring systems in Europe. Though remote monitoring has not gained a foothold in the European market yet, there are innumerable activities on the research and development front.
